Bittersweet

I feel hurt
With you it was new
It was a flower blossoming
but with the news
It died young
before it was fully open
It hurt
not like a gunshot
like an aching
like a shock
like cold water over your head
you didn't expect it
you didn't want it
You just hoped it wouldn't happen
you hoped that you could find out
now you know the truth
but not the way you wanted too
you found out from the fall
you found out by crashing
It hurt just the same way
you never got a chance
to try
to taste the sweet fruit
instead it turned bitter
before you ever had a bite
